Big data storage is a challenge for data architects who need to manage large volumes, variety, and velocity of data. A distributed file system (DFS) is a solution that allows storing and accessing ...

This project implements the practical multi server’s/client files system (the file servers running on the same computer) with networking and fault tolerance with support of Redundant Array of ...

The Storage Servers (SS) acts as the data stores In our distributed file system implementation in C, Storage Servers play a pivotal role as the backbone of the Network File System (NFS). These servers ...

Abstract: Improvements in memory, storage devices, and network technologies are constantly exploited ... We present a novel design for a distributed file system that is aware of storage media (e.g., ...

As there has been exceptional growth in network-based computing, client/server-based applications have brought revolutions in the process of building distributed file systems. Sharing storage ...

Vendors such as Network Appliance have preemptively acted with the adoption of technologies such as distributed file systems. Related technologies include industry-standard, modular storage ...

The distributed storage is made to appear as a single large network drive, with all the main features of a conventional file system being made available to the client nodes. Published in: The 11th ...

Another thing that a SAN isn't is Network Attached Storage (NAS). Again, the SAN relies heavily on a SCSI protocol, while the NAS uses the NFS and SMB/CIFS file-sharing protocols.
